Mar 9, 2016 at 3:57 | comment | added | Ville Niemi | @PyRulez A quote from my answer: "Your model is stagnant, void of hope and opportunity, obsessed with past failure. This actually might work for the first generation, which is good as they'd presumably be the ones to create the system, but the later generations would simply leave." Central planning or not is not really the issue here, honestly. | |
Mar 8, 2016 at 17:09 | comment | added | Christopher King | @VilleNiemi Central planning is so inefficient that you won't really be able to maintain it, because people will want more. | |

Dec 7, 2014 at 13:16 | comment | added | Ville Niemi | True and interesting, but even if the OP labels it an utopia, it is not really an attempt at an optimal society, it is a society built by traumatized survivors of a global catastrophe, who deliberately aim for zero growth. The fact that some other form of organization would give much better chance of growth, if they had the will and resources to create it, which they do not, is not really relevant. Growth is exactly what the people do not want in the scenario. They want stability, a frozen society. | |
